“On my first day of college Physics, the Professor came in and asked for a show of hands of how many people in the class were going to continue their education in the field of Physics. Nobody raised their hands. He said since that was the case, he didn’t see the point in teaching us calculus-based physics and so he taught everything using algebra-based physics.”
Makes no sense. Why would he even ask if it was an advance physics class.
No non-physics or non-engineering major is going to sign up, much less a whole class.
It was 3 semesters of 200 level classes for engineers, also known as a “weed out” course.
However the Professor determined that it was more important to teach at the practical level and not the theoretical level. The physics doesn’t change and instead of teaching how to use the calculus equation and derive them down to their algebraic form, it was more important to him that we understood physics.
